Western Wisconsin Chapter Team

Jennifer Webster

Jennifer Webster

Chapter Founder

After Jennifer’s dad, Brian Webster, suddenly passed away by suicide in August of 2023, Jennifer felt compelled to stand up for farmers and their mental health. Jennifer and Brian had a special relationship that often entailed talking about the commodity markets together, feeding calves, sorting seed corn and countless other activities. When Brian died, Jennifer’s world shattered and left her feeling broken but yet wanting to take action to do more for the farmers that were in the thick of battling mental illness.
Jennifer and her family got in touch with the Farmer Angel Network after Brian’s passing and wanted to bring the organization closer to home. Since early 2024, Jennifer has partnered with the original Farmer Angel Network chapter to bring resources, conversation starters and fellowship to Western Wisconsin farmers and their families.

When Jennifer is not busy with Farmer Angel Network, she enjoys being present with her family at the farm, spending time with her boyfriend Ryan and his chocolate lab, connecting with friends and working as a senior buyer for a custom power solutions company.
